Won me a tournament by pretending I flooded. Playing greven, I had 3 of my win on the spot pieces and 3 lands (mulled once down to 6). Drew 3 lands and my final piece, but vocally complained about flooding. Only player playing blue tapped out on turn 5 so I went all in an knocked him out. Rest of the table conceded as I had managed to reset my health and draw 20 cards. Greven is love.
That's great haha very carefully managing how you look to others while actually assembling the pieces for your win is whay I was initially thinking about! But now I understand that in a casual setting I'd be better just playing, altough a bit smarter without going all-in at every turn, otherwise I'd be sitting there doing the bare minimum and watching others play. In a tournament is a great strategy, you're literally playing to win, in a casual group like mine winning is a good result but not the only objective
